Silly ,but not without its moments

Sleepwalkers comes under the category of one of Stephen Kings poorer adaptations but by no means the worst. This is about a mother and son who move from town to town living on the blood of young virgin women. They are monster like shapeshifters that are incestious and charming when trying to lure their victims. The only way they can die is if they are scratched by a cat! i know it's hardly a steak through the heart but thats the story. The first 45 minutes is quite good and does have it's scary moments but the longer the film goes on the sillier it gets. Stephen King makes his obligitory cameo appearance as the caretaker of a graveyard. 6 out of 10.
